“Grocery store microgreens are cut, packaged, and slowly losing nutrients from the moment they’re harvested. Ours arrive still growing.”
The difference between fresh-cut and still-living isn’t subtle — it’s measurable.

A 10×20 tray of microgreens arrives at your door in a sub-irrigated reservoir — still growing, still producing phytochemicals.
Snip what you need straight from the tray. 7–10 days of counter life means you're eating them at their nutritional peak — not their decline.
Next week, we pick up the spent tray and deliver a fresh one. Zero waste, zero effort, zero interruption.
Why we specialize
Our focus is brassica microgreens like broccoli, cauliflower, radish, kale, cabbage, kohlrabi, and mustard. Not because they’re easy, but because the science behind them is the strongest.
These varieties contain the highest concentrations of sulforaphane, a compound shown in peer-reviewed research to activate your body’s own cellular defenses. We grow what the research validates as the most benefical varieties, nothing more, nothing less.
The science
We publish the peer-reviewed studies behind our product. Not cherry-picked marketing claims. Real research from real journals, written so you can actually use it.
A 2025 study confirmed that sulforaphane and its precursor glucoraphanin from broccoli microgreens effectively cross the blood-brain barrier. Once there, they mitigate neuroinflammation and protect against damage from environmental pollutants.
Nutrients (MDPI), April 2025Epidemiological studies consistently link glucoraphanin-rich cruciferous vegetables with reduced risk of prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers. Sulforaphane's mechanisms extend beyond antioxidant effects to include targeting cancer stem cells.
Frontiers in Immunology, 2025Red radish sprout extract significantly lowered triglyceride levels, which are associated with promoting a pro-inflammatory state. This suggests potential metabolic benefits alongside the anti-inflammatory effects.

The farm
Magnolia Greens operates a controlled-environment vertical farm less than four miles from the Magnolia Green community. Your microgreens travel minutes — not days — from our growing environment to your counter.
That proximity isn’t a marketing story. It’s the reason the product works. Every day between harvest and consumption is a day of nutrient loss. We’ve engineered that gap down to almost nothing.
Precision controlled-environment vertical farm — engineered, tech-forward, intentional.
